IMO Araki made the right choice with Fugo because it's a way to play up just how scary the idea of going against the boss is, that even someone with a power that can just murder anything around him is like "oh hell no, are you guys crazy, gently caress that."

It'd be cool if we could get an adaptation of purple haze feedback though.

i've said it before but we'll literally never get an animated purple haze feedback since they would kind of have to straight up create everything themselves, visually.

I don't really understand how this is such an impossible feat. I am pretty certain there are drawings of any of the main purple haze feedback characters and stands and david production is an animation studio, filling in between panels and drawing new stuff is kinda what they're expected to do. It isn't like they make motion comics.

Also, still peeved the anime dub de-gayed Cioccolata

Plus he still does it, just without forcibly taking them over, like the mentioned death 13 fight, the fight with lovers, and he does his super stretching stuff for those too as well as tower of gray

Another reason they wouldn't suspect Mannish Boy is because, in addition to not even remembering what was happening in their sleep, it'd be pretty loving stupid for Mannish Boy to kill anyone while they were airborne since he'd die in the crash. They weren't even aware they were in any danger to begin with, just thought they had some bad dreams and Kakyoin freaking out and accusing a baby of the nightmares.

Something that Part 5 had a lot of focus on were multi-stand fights against users working together and combining their abilities. We got a lot of really great moments out of that.

Still can't believe the dub changed it so Cioccolata doesn't tell Secco he loves him.

on the flipside, part 3 was stretched out way too loving long, lmao. it's literally shorter than part 4 iirc, manga-wise, but they inserted a lot of junk to fill it out to two full seasons somehow.

And they still cut out Senator Wilson Phillips running over Waldo

Unfortunately Araki dips into sexual assault as shorthand for being evil probably for the same reason he has villains kill so many dogs: it is a horror media staple.

I haven't used netflix to watch jojo before, does netflix preserve the opening changes or does it stick with 1 opening and not incorporate any of the changes like the added sound effects or DIO stopping time from earlier parts?

FirstAidKite
Nov 8, 2009
I've never watched any anime through netflix, only ever watched movies on it and a few shows that only ever had 1 opening, so I wasn't sure if the unique openings were still part of the episode or if they just had the episodes as their own videos and a single video for the opening that gets played before each episode and has the skip option

Just set up a simulwatch thread for anyone looking to keep the friday stuff going and the people binge watching can just use this thread, this doesn't change that the internet at large would still have access to the dump of eps all at once but at least you can have a dedicated space to following and discussing stuff at a weekly (or faster) pace

The savage garden part 4 stuff was fine too, the sudden clap into walk like an egyptian owned, and roundabout lead-ins are top tier and seeing how they put various characters to change the ending up as it went was cool.

Part 5 is actually just Araki's interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. To learn more, you can read my thesis on my angelfire page at

It is very weird how Dio being Giorno's dad has absolutely no pay off.

The payoff is that he carries characteristics associated with both Jonathan and Dio, just as Jolyne carries characteristics associated with her father and Josuke shares those with Joseph.

Jotaro's keen mind realized that the stands in part 3 had themed names based on cards, and figured if he named Josuke's stand Crazy Diamond he'd only have to fight three other guys, tops.

Imagine the world where Araki stuck to card names and part 6 has Jolyne Cujoh with her stand 「COBALT EIGHT」 and her friend Ermes with the stand 「DRAW 2」
